We were asked to pray when boat engines stopped – Survivors

March 21, 2013 : Mudiaga Affe, Calabar

Two survivors of the boat accident, which happened 40 nautical miles off the coast of Calabar, Kive Sani and Hasfat Zakari, have recounted how stalled engines caused the havoc that consumed many lives on March 15.

Sani, 27, from Togo and Hasfat Zakari, 13, from Benin Republic, who spoke to reporters in Calabar, Cross River State, on Wednesday, said Addax Petroleum workers rescued them on Sunday afternoon.

Sani, who spoke through a French interpreter and occasionally in Pidgin English at the Bakor Clinic at the Murtala Mohammed Highway, where he was on admission, said stalled engines caused the incident.

According to him, when the engines stalled, water started entering the boat.

He said they were in the water from 9pm on Friday night when the incident happened to Sunday at about 3pm when rescue operators saved him.

He said, “When the engines stopped working, the captain asked us to start praying. The Muslims prayed first, then the Christians. He told us our lives were at the end. While some were shouting Allah, others were shouting Jesus. Ten minutes later, water was still entering the boat and people started to jump into the water.”

Sani, who said the wooden boat had 128 passengers plus the five-man crew, added that what saved him initially was the oil facility equipment that he held onto.

According to him, his master and one other woman held onto the same facility but that they could not stay long as they fell into the water.

He gave the names of the crew members, as Theo, Kpakpa, Ibrahim, Daniel and Francis.

Sani added, “Many of the people were from Ghana, Togo, Niger, and Benin Republic.”

Zakari, who spoke in Yoruba, said through an interpreter that she did not remember much, but that the engines stopped working close to an oil field.

“I can only remember that we were asked to pray when the boat developed a fault,” she stated.

Meanwhile, the coordinator of the Eastern Zone of Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency, Mr. Olayemi Abas, said the agency received report of the incident on Sunday at 9.30pm, through Kaztec Engineering Limited, operators for Addax Petroleum.

Abas said, “In the ensuing search and rescue operation embarked upon by Addax, nine bodies were recovered and two survivors.

“The NIMASA team from the local office in Calabar and the zonal office in Port Harcourt, which I head immediately swung into action and we received the bodies on Monday 18 at about 6.30pm at the NPA terminal operated by Ecomarine Terminals.

“They were brought on board a vessel called SWAL LINK SIX and the bodies were immediately taken to the University of Calabar Teaching Hospital for embalmment and safe keeping. The bodies were bloated, all nine bodies were women, and unfortunately, one of them was pregnant at the time of death. They were brought in well-packaged in body bags in a dignified manner.”

Meanwhile, our correspondent gathered on Wednesday that 27 more people had been rescued and taken to Oron.

Eight of them were said to be Nigerians, while the others were foreigners.

Only God knows. But it is pathetic! In danger, man is known to cry out to whatever they believe in. As we can see, some shouted Allah (Creator) while others shouted Jesus (creature). Someday, somehow, we shall all return to our Creator. Death is inevitable! Their eternal destinations would now have been made known to them. How then are we prepared? Do we still direct our worship to creatures other than Creator? This is a food of thought for every humble soul who yearns for true salvation. Only those who comprehend with open minds can truly be guided. May God have Mercy over the departed pious souls. Let us prepare now before the reality overtakes us

There is salvation in none other, except JESUS! He is the creator, alongside the Heavenly Father and the Holy Spirit. (Point of correction)

Don’t forget thatthesepeople have been destined they did. Whether you worship Allah (SWT) or not, we shall all return to him to account for what we might have done with our lives.

Dont worry my friend. Olaitan has made herself clear when she said: ”It is only those who comprehend with open minds and those who are humble are the ones she is talking to”. It is only left for us to either accept or reject. She has played her own part in calling you back to the right way to salvation. There is no need to abuse her. Judgement is only for God on that day!

Tell that to all the muslim murderers (al qaede, baoko harama taliban etc) who murder people in the name of Allah all over the world. I believe you can not mention just one place in the modern era where somebody kill his fellow human and shouted in Jesus Name. I pray you will not get to heaven before you realise the truth.

prince ubu

Yeah, and they also shout allah just before they kill themselves and others so that they would go and enjoy their seventy virgins. I am not sure if you are one of the virgins waiting for a suicide bomber!

olakunle

May Almighty Allah grant them,al-janat firdus ameen

sodiq kareem

@olaitan! U know nothing @ all……..who is creature and who is creator?is it the God of boko haram the islamist that kill innocent people or prince of peace that raise the dead, heal the sick,etc. Pls u better accept him or else u die like ur father(muhammed)

IsaiahA

Rukayatu abudu salami. I know you this is the believe you have been taught since when you were about 2.5 yrs old. No qualms. But I just ask you simple question: If allah is truely the creator of all things, why is it that he asked muslims to fight for him? this clearly stated in the quran and the hadiths. it means allah is so weak that his followers must be violent, killing everone that oppose him(alla)

http://www.facebook.com/akeula.taiwo Akeula Taiwo

Please Allah never said in Quran or Hadith that muslims should fight for him. This is what you hear some hypocrites say. But why cant you show me in that Quran and Hadith where God specifically says such scandalous statement. Am very versed in Quran and Hadith. Please quote for me.

As whether it is Allah that created heaven and earth. Quran 27:59-66 says: ”Say to them (O Muhammad), Praise be to Allah, and Peace on His servants whom He has chosen (for His Message). (Ask them Who) is better? Is it Allah or the false gods they associate (with Him). (60) Or who has created the heavens and the earth, and who send you down rain from the sky? Yea, with it We (Allah) cause to grow well-planted orchards full of beauty and delight: it is not in your power to cause the growth of the trees in them. (Can there be another) god besides Allah? Nay, they are a people who swerve from justice. (61) Or, who has made the earth firm to live in; made rivers in its midth: set thereon mountains immovable; And made a separating bar between the two seas (Can there be another) god besides Allah? Nay, most of them know not”. (62) Or, who listens to the distressed when he calls on Him, and who relieves his sufferings, and makes you (mankind) inheritors of the earth? (Can there be another) god besides Allah? Little it is that you (mankind) heed! (63) Or, who guides you (mankind) through the depths of darkness on land and sea, and who sends the winds as heralds of glad tidings, going before His Mercy? (Can there be another) god besides Allah?- High is Allah above what they associate with Him? (64) Or, who originates Creation, then repeats it, and who gives you (mankind) substenance from heaven and earth? (Can there be another) god besides Allah? Say, ”Bring forth your argumant, if you are telling the truth!”

Olayori

I am a Muslim, and I respect other people’s religion. You are a bigot. We all have the right to reach out to whatever, or whomever we believe in. The Quran says that there is no complusion in religion. You are among those that wants to instill their religious beliefs in others. Must all your comments pertain to Islam, and the other religions?
@ Akeula taiwo, we should all get back to the main story, which is about an accident on the seas.
As for the rest of us, Allah, Yaweh, God, Eledumare, Chineke, all means the same, just different languages. You all should get a fucking life! In 2013, some idiots are still bothered about which religion is better. That is pathetic, and ignorant!

http://www.facebook.com/akeula.taiwo Akeula Taiwo

Yah, thank you for your observation. We all get the story quite well. As you can see i was trying to correct some misconceptions as you are doing right now. But let’s look at it this way. Olaitan, to whom some devoted their time to curse so much, initially showed her sympathy. But, thereafter, she thought it deemed necessary to call us back to remember the nothingness and vanity of this life.

We all feel so bad to what really happened. But that does not stop us, as mortals, to remind ourselves on account of such unexpected ugly incident that we should prepare for our own unexpected time of death. Must we shy away from the reality? Whether you are a muslim or christian, each time you hear someone dies, then you should be weary of whose turn is it next? It is mostly from this kind of incident that everyone can learn how to be more conscious of God. This does not mean we are not showing sympathy to those who died. It is quite unfortunate! There is no way we can do without being conscious of God. Those who perished never knew they would not reach their destination. But God knows best.

The most important thing is that we should all learn to tolerate and respect everyone’s view, no matter how unacceptable it looks to us. What do we stand to gain from cursing, abusing, slandering others. It is immoral!

pappy

I did not read about life jacket here showing how people take things for granted. No boat wether big or small should sail without the authorities ensuring that life jacket is sufficient to all passengers

kingsley

Well may their souls rest in peace..but this our country is something x.how can a boat be moving without a life jacket,what nonsense is this.playing with peoples life.very bad africans.

CHIKA

Very sad,failure of the nigerian system,NIMASA is claiming to have rescued the dead bodies,where were they when this boat entered the Nigerian territory,carrying this number of passengers without life jackets and they looked the other way only to come and retrieve their dead bodies,SHAME ON THEM.nonsense.

kole

Sometimes, some of you are angry over notting: where is the boat point of take off and destination? Like a plan from take off point to destination is where monitoring take place. Until there is a declearation of a lost, search and resque operation never start. Water is unlike road where you have many passerby that help victims, afterall each boat should have a communication equipment to signal station in distress.

What a sad end..I tink a law should be passed at ensuring life bouys,or life jackets on every ship,the would ensure safety on our water ways.. May their soul rest in peace.. Please ruquayat or wateva ur name is I don’t know of allah or mohamed but Jesus Christ is not a creature,he is the Alpha and Omega,

dr Grace

Allah! Hmm what a mockery, praying to something that inspires his followers to destroy life that he did not give, if he gives life he will know how precious the life is! Unfortunaately people misdirect their worship! Imagine all the islamic states, iran, iraq, qatar, saudi arabia, parkistan, Egpyt, Turkery, name them, you see all kinds of nonsense suicide bombing and honor killings! What a shame you, bondage in the name of religion. Well I wish them all well, is unfortunate that we are mere mortals, unable to see beyond the clouds of today, the clouds of here and now, but I know and I feel it strong in my spirit that a revolution is coming and it will sweep through all the islamic states and their eyes will be opened to reality, to the truth of life! To the need for women liberation, to the need for equality of human rights, to end all the unnecessary killings in the name of honor and allah, and lots more than I can write. But before then I wish the dead a peaceful repose, may God grant them mercy through Christ our lord. Amen.

This is just a figment of your imagination! Hold on! Have you ever in one day picked a translated copy of Quran to even find out whether all these erroneous views you have been harbouring in your mind is really the true picture of Islam? Knowledge doesw not come to anyone who fails to find it. Learn to know about others not only by relying on what you hear people say but also what you can find out by conducticting your own independent research about them. Have you not read in your bible that when the Last Hour approaches, series of killings, ugly incidents, liars and atrocities will abound. Senseless wars will be rampant; Children will no longer be submissive to their parents; women will be moving around in near nakedness. And all other disgusting things will be happening. Then why are you perturbed seeing all these you mentioned if truly you believe in the End Time?
But the truth of the matter is that it seems to you as if you really believe but the true spiritual understanding of who a believer is has not yet be comprehended by you. This is due to your misguidance as to comprehend Who really God is in Reality. God is never what you think He is, for example, in terms of your belief that Jesus is equally God in human flesh. This is contrary to what Jesus said in the Book of Number 23:19 that: ”God is not a man nor a son of man”. You will se that Jesus gave himself a title: ” son of man”. Also, 1st Samuel 15:29 says: ” God is not a man that He should change his mind”. But you can as well see the manly attribute of Jesus in John 7:8 when he changed his mind not to attend a feast he had intention of attending before. So, he is not divine in any nature. That is why Quran tells you Jesus is one of great signs from God to humanity. Therefore God says in Hoseah 11:9 that: ” I am God and not man”.
You can now see why i said you misinterpret and misrepresent Who really God is. Then you cannot call yourself a believer by not truly knowing Who you should worship. May God guide us to the right path

sunday322

May the soul of the dead rest in peace,we need stricter laws that will promote health and safely standard to minimize the preventable loss of lives in the future

In the case of the folk who claimed that Allah teaches murder,it is unfortunate that this person has very little or no clue at all about Islam

I advise every body to spare some time to research on other religious teachings apart from their own

Allah means God,the only one God,the father of monotheism,that is one God, is Abraham and the Koran recognizes him as Ibrahim

To condemn the whole Islamic states is the height of religious ignorance,the Koran is a very holy book that teaches a very high standard religious doctrine about one God

Even before the advent of Christianity and Islam people in the far past has always believed in one God,right from the time of Abraham,the only deference is there were more pagans then and the modern day religion had done a lot in winning many converts for the one and only God

There are also other religious groups who also believe and worship the only one God almighty,such as the in Hindus,Budhuists and others,they have monks who are so holy they have to live in recluse away from the distractions of this sinful and wicked world,they pray and meditate all their live to purify their mind in their holy quest to reach out to the only one God
How can one then blindly condemn others who do not belong to a particular religious camp
Knowledge is power,it is freedom from all types of bondage including manipulative brainwashing which abounds in many of today’s religion for the sake of amassing wealth

,

Olayori

Good words from a wise person!

kjy

Very useless ppl, Ur fellow humans died in agony instead u pray fo them but u’r bussy insulting one another in the name of religion. Exactly what re distructin dis nation today re ethnicity,tribalism,sectionalism nd religious differences….these re d’ tools been used by our so called leaders but we still remained dafts..

Akeula Taiwo posted a comment in Tinubu backs amnesty for Boko Haram · 4 hours ago i doubt if you met your wife a virgin. How then can you value virginity- a virtue of every decent and God-conscious lady? By the way, you can protest to God in heaven that you dont want virgins. You only want to be drumming, singing and dancing with prostitutes. Ignorant!

Akeula Taiwo posted a comment in Tinubu backs amnesty for Boko Haram · 8 hours ago Bisola dollar, can you swear by God that you have never attributed any issue concernig B’Haram amnesty to islamic religion on this forum? Because i read most of your comments. It is not really what i said that infuriated you so much that you descended so low and furious to curse my generation. It may be my mention of Pastor G.O Adeboye that pushed your legs off track. I never abused your pastor. But i can understand that merely mentioning somebody whom you revere so much that you have taken him as a mimi-god, i have crossed a battle line. Please forgive me. But truth might be bitter so much that it pains people more than headache.

Akeula Taiwo posted a comment in Tinubu backs amnesty for Boko Haram · 8 hours ago In any argumentative debate, with this your irrelevant comment, you would have been awarded zero for not being coherent and sensible in making constructive argument. What has Jagaban or aboki akobata got to do with this my submission? That is why i feel so ashamed to reply most of your comments. It always shows how reckless and naive you chose to be in terms of making contribution on a forum like this. Mikkyduff, you need to inculcate good manners. This forum is not meant for a mere pastime and entertainment. It is a forum for one to get more informed, educated, enlightened and cautious. Get a better life!

Akeula Taiwo posted a comment in Tinubu backs amnesty for Boko Haram · 10 hours ago I have said it times without number on this forum that: ”It is either on the basis of religion or politics played on religious sentiment from among both muslims and christians of this nation that Nigeria may be heading towards collapse. As we all know that our constitution grants every citizen a fundamental right to state his/her personal opinion on any matter. But we see some hypocrites who still maintain that no one has right to hold an opposing view contrary to whatever others hold. Holding opposing views is what democracy preaches. If every citizen in the US and Britain is always to hold similar views on matters, they would not have been in a position they are today.
If Tinubu or anyone should state his/her own view on amnesty, why must we call for their heads. Is it because he is a muslim? Clinton of US cited his own view, most of us castigated him. We are fond of condemning every possible solution cited by everyone to curtail B’Haram insurgency while we fail to profer any solution whatsoever. Most of us are happy to always wake up and see ugly news on newspapers over which we can use oppotunity to slander, attack and abuse fellow Nigerians. If it were to be Pastor G.O Adeboye, with all due respect, who supports or profers similar solution, would most of you have been slandering or abusing him? Rather you would have said: ”’Oh, Daddy has spoken'; ‘it is divine revelation from God'; ”Listen to the words of the annointed”. But if it were to be ordinary person, you hesitate not to apply religious sentiment.
Let us all be sincere to ourselves. What we need right now is a quick solution to end these senseless killings. On several occassions that we have said Islam condemns killings. Let us come together and shun sentiment and bigoted statements. Hypocrisy destroys every value and status of man. If we have tried so many ways but yielded no result, why then cant we try other possible means? People that call for war are the same people that will run away if such war should start. Good day, friends

Akeula Taiwo posted a comment in ACF, CAN condemn killing of passengers · a day ago What about hundreds of muslims of similar wrong ideas in the prison worldwide. Are they not being punished? Reason with your open mind

Akeula Taiwo posted a comment in ACF, CAN condemn killing of passengers · a day ago I know your type. Because you know not what ignorance really means. Sorry, you are aggrieved? Truth is very bitter to accept. But endure to accept it, friend

Akeula Taiwo posted a comment in ACF, CAN condemn killing of passengers · a day ago But he killed millions of innocent souls. Is that not terrorism?

Akeula Taiwo posted a comment in Kano death toll rises to 75 · a day ago Mr Israel, You must have waited endlessly on the 3rd Mainland bridge for all those people you mentioned, including me. Why did you leave anyway?

Let me advise you. No man with an atum of arrogance in his heart, no matter how intelligent he feels he is in terms of speaking, or how reasonable his suggestion looks like to the people, will ever be regarded as a successful and eloquent crusader of any good cause. Because his arrogance will becloud his sense of reasoning and justice.
We can see that from all mindless and irrelevant explanations you are giving us about your daily official duties. Who really need all these from you? Do you think without you people would not have been having nice and pleasant days on this forum? What empty ego do you eagerly crave for that makes you see yourself as infallibe and indispensable?

You brag in the name of God as if God has been speaking with you face to face. No one ever knows what will happen to him/her in any second from now. You put forward suggestion about this sensitive security issue in this country in such a callous, mocking and vainglorious manner as if you are so much important to be reckon with. Please learn to speak as an intelligent fellow. Humble yourself to people if you should earn respect from them. Dont you ever think people show love to every truth-speaker the same way they show acceptance to every sweet-mouthed liar? Good day, Israel

Akeula Taiwo posted a comment in Kano death toll rises to 75 · a day ago So, it is Akeula Taiwo you are targeting to attack today? But Taiwo has neven been a supporter of B’Haram nor sympathetic to their devillish cause. Is it because he is a muslim? Is it because he opposes a wrong perception that since B’Haram seems to be fighting a senseless cause in the ‘camouflaged’ name of islam, then all other faithful and innocent muslims in your neighborhood and the entire nation are as well to be tagged B’Haramites? What sense does this make to you? Is that justice which we all cry for?

Bacause Mr Uche from Abia state is a kidnapper, then all other Uches, or the entire Ibos from Abia state should be seen as kidnappers? Or Mr Owolabi from Osun was caught a ritualist, then we should hold such stupid assumptions that all Owolabis or the entire Osun people are all ritualists? This is a stupidity of the highest order!

Killimanjaro, i will never, ever reason the way you chose to have been reasoning on this forum. My conscience will never forgive me for holding such prejudiced and biased opinion of innocent souls. Good day.
